Setting up accounts
Registration and account typesWhich accounts do I need in Formbay?
Everything starts with setting up an account with Formbay. There are always two accounts involved in processing STCs, so choose what's right for you:
- Your online client account — for the office.
- Your Formbay Solar app account — for the smartphone you take on site.
Your online client account
Allows you to:
- Create STC applications.
- Assign applications to an SAA accredited installer via their Formbay Solar app account.
- Submit applications for review and processing with the Clean Energy Regulator (CER).
- Manage when to sell the application.
- Review data and photo evidence on past applications.
Start your registration for the trading website.
Your Formbay Solar app account
Allows you to:
- View every application assigned to you via an online client account.
- Take photo evidence of the installation process — serial numbers, the STC application signature, the completed install, and a digital or photographed Commissioning Certificate.
Download the Formbay Solar app on your phone and tap Register Here at the bottom right to begin.
Tips when registering a client account
- Choose a username that reflects your company name or brand.
- Your contact details are used when Formbay needs to reach you. The director's contact details are used primarily for KYC purposes.
- The stock pricing option lets you sell your STCs for credit toward stock. You can turn this on at any time.
Tips when registering an app account
- The username you choose should identify you as an individual.
- Register with the same details that appear on your SAA accreditation licence.
- To review your SAA accreditation details or make changes, log in at saaustralia.com.au/my-account.

Once you've completed registration on the Formbay app, give Formbay a call to activate the account before logging in.
